I hope my issue hasn't been raised elsewhere. At least I haven't been able
to find an answer to it, hence why I would like to ask for help.
I have some recorded tv shows, recorded in mpeg-ts. Each has the following
audio tracks:
1. Stereo
2. Dubbed local language
3. AC3 5.1
The problem is that only track 1 is accessible in the audio track window.
Am I missing a codec or something other rather obvious? When I play the file in Jriver Media Center all tracks are displayed.
I haven't yet managet to edit a piece of the file for you to review. I will as soon as I get the time.
The file has teletext (see mediainfo dump below). Unfortunately I don't think I can make a small clip, since I'm don't know if there is any free video editor that will retain the AC3 multichannel audio track when saving the edited video. I will see what I can do, though.
However, can this mediainfo dump help?

You don't need a video editor to clip TS files. You can use any general purpose binary file cutter. I don't know what windows users use, but on linux and osx, the "dd" command works perfectly.
@JohnAStebbins: I will give it a try and upload the file (may take a few days due to other priorities)
Regarding the mediainfo dump: Yes it is a mess, but regarding the audio you would want to look at audio track 1-3. These are the three that appear as options in the file using Jriver media center.
Ok, I figured out what causes your problem. The TS stream appears to have multiple programs muxed into it. I see 5 different programs here (i.e. it has 5 program map tables). HandBrake just picks the first that it sees in the file. Mediainfo is showing all the programs all jumbled together.
In theory, HandBrake could handle such files by parsing each program as a separate title and allow you to chose which you want from the title menu. But that's not how our TS parser is currently structured and would require a pretty significant rework to handle this.
